Application filed October 22, 1904. Serial No. 229,661.

.T all 107mm/ it Duty concern:

Be it known that I, MILTON E. FREUND, a citizen of the United States,residing at the city of St. Louis, State of Missouri, have invented acertain new and useful Improvement in Umbrella-Holders and the Like, ofwhich the following is a description, reference being had to theaccompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which-Figure l is a side elevational view of the device embodying myinvention, showing the same as when in use attached to a pocket of agarment and supporting an umbrella. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of thedevice. Fig. 3 is a front elevational view of the spring-clip. Fig. 4 isa vertical longitudinal sectional view of the same, and Fig. is aninverted plan view of the same.

This invention relates to a new and useful improvement inumbrella-holders and thelike, the object being to produce a device to besecured to or upon a pocket, belt, or other part of the wearing-apparelof a person and detachably carry or support an umbrella or the like, thedevice being held firmly in position when in use and being easilyremovable, if desired, when not in use.

Vith this object in view the invention consists in the novelconstruction and arrang'ement of the several parts of the device, all aswill be hereinafter described and afterward pointed out in the claims.

In the drawings, wherein like characters refer to like parts throughoutthe several views, 1 indicates a clip, preferably formed of sp1-in gmetal and having', in edge elevation, the approximate shape of aninverted U, one member thereof (lettered 2) being provided with openingsor slots 4, and the other member thereof (lettered 3) being provided atits lowermost edge with an inturned portion or iiange 5, bearingserrations or saw-teeth 6.

T indicates a strap, preferably provided with a buckle 8 of anyusualconstruction, which is designed to be threaded through the openings orslots 4 in the clip 1 and be adjustably held therein, as clearly shownin Fig. 2.

In Fig. 1 the device is illustrated as secured to or with in the pocketof a garment, the member 3 of the clip 1 being inserted inside thepocket, and the member 9., to which strap 7 is attached, remaining onthe outside, the serrations 6 holding the clip firmly in position andpreventing any accidental withdrawal of the same from the pocket. Byspringing the members 2 and 3 away from each other the clip and itscarried parts may be easily detached from its support whenever desired.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secureby Letters Patent, is-

l. In adevice of the character described, the combination with aninverted U shaped spring-clip having openings and a serrated inturnededge for the purposes speciiied, of a strap threaded through saidopenings and adjustably held therein for supporting the article to becarried; substantially as described.

2. In a device of the character described, the combination with aninverted U shaped spring-clip, one member thereof being formed withparallel slits 4 for receiving a strap and the other member thereofbeing adapted to be inserted in a pocket or other part of a garment andbeing provided with an inturned lip portion bearing serrations forholding the clip in position and preventing accidental removal of thesame, of a strap threaded through said slits 4 and being adjustablelaterally therein for supporting the article to be carried;substantially as described.

3. As a new article of manufacture, an umbrella-holder comprising aninverted- U- shaped spring-clip having openings in one member thereoffor receiving a strap and a serrated inturned edge on the other memberthereof adapted to be inserted in a pocket or other part of a garment,the said serrated edge, due to the yielding character of said clip, thusbiting into said pocket and preventing accidental removal of the same,and a strap adapted to be threaded through said openings and adjustablelaterally therein; substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses.
